What do you guys think of the new chapter?

I overall think Nemesis is a balanced and awesome killer, but there are sometimes where he doesn't shine.

New survivors are awesome, especially Leon. I really like Leon and I'm currently maining him and Claudette right now.

Jill is a badass, from the games, and films and she is very cool.

I love the new legendary skins for Claire and Chris, what I love even more is that they both have their own unique voice lines and sounds.

Even though I haven't got to play on the new map, due to its temporary disablement, it looks really cool, and is better than it was on the PTB.

How do you guys feel about this chapter and how would you compare it to other chapters?

    A relatively nice chapter when it comes to content, but really bad when it comes to performance.

    I think it's a great chapter, Minus all of the performance issues.

    Haven't seen the new map. Performance issues haven't effected me personally, but seeing they've effected a lot of people that really sucks. Hopefully they'll have a hotfix on Tuesday.

    Content wise? Pretty good. Jill + Claire skin (even though it's not perfect), Leon + Chris Skin, + Nemesis. Pretty much my dream chapter. (Just need a Jill RE1 skin and a Rebecca skin)

    Perks are pretty good. Blast Mine is a LOT of fun, and I've been using it to finish old archives. Flashbang is pretty fun too, though annoying as killer. But easily avoidable, once you realize they have it. Counterforce and Resurgance could use some slight buffs, I think. Counterforce is only usable twice, and basically a We'll Make It on yourself. I think it should be a little stronger, and it'd be a great anti-tunnel perk. Counterforce needs the aura to last a little longer, I think. Bite the Bullet is pretty 'eh', but has some uses. I'd like to see it buffed as well. Rookie Spirit I found hard to get use out of, because the killer simply wouldn't kick gens, but it's useful when there's Ruin. Lethal Pursuer is great. Absolutely destructive on high mobility killers, and useful for stealth killers too. Eruption is OKAY, but could probably use a slight buff. And Hysteria... I barely noticed when I played with it. Feel like it could use a buff too.

    Overall, nice chapter. Too bad about all the other issues associated with it.

    All Kill was far superior and would easily crush this chapter if it had a map of it's own. Yep, my hot take.


    Nemesis looks goofy for all the talk about Trickster looking out of place as well. He looks like he could star in some Saturday morning space cartoon alongside Space Cowboy Jake. I like it though, but I find it funny Trickster was "too different" and now we got this big goofy star lord looking guy splattering blue space goo glitter on Survivors.


    Leon is cute though. <3


    i'll have to buy and see more of him before I have a final response. I'm just a little jaded All Star got some extreme hate and it was better executed than this chapter with the Killer looking more in line with the cast than Nemesis. It also didn't break the game nearly as bad. We all just need to remember that at least any chapter released isn't Darkness Among Us.

    I love everything about it with the exception of Nemesis (he's okay. Not great, not terrible. 3.6 roentgen).

    Can't wait to play the map again, I loved it. That said, the performance issues obviously need to go. Barring that, content-wise, I think that it's a solid "A".

    I think Nemsis is a solid C-tier right now.

    The map is...well it's a typical indoor map.

    The performance is awful.

    Clown is bugged.

    The perks are good.

    Claire's skin is pretty terrible.


    Rignt now, this chapter is probably the 3rd worst ever. Binding of Kin and Darkness Among Us being worse.

    I echo most of what's being said so far. The content itself is nice, and I'm enjoying what's actually working. The map not being playable drags things down though. I'd give it a 6 or 7/10. But even comparing just the Perks/Killer to the Perks/Killers of the past year I like this chapter a lot.

    Yeah, it died again afterwards but I got it back.

    Leaving DBD alone, don't want it to brick me.

    Good to hear that it's still working. Probably wise to stay away from DBD for the time being until others can confirm that the game isn't affecting anyone's machines.
